Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is the will to power our natural desire to dominate and reshape the world to fit our own preferences and assert our personal strength to the fullest degree.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I call a lie: wanting not to see something one does see, wanting not to see something as one sees it... The most common lie is the lie one tells to oneself lying to others is relatively the exception.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Become who you are. Make what only you can make.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A lack of the historical sense is the hereditary fault of all philosophers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And so do you suppose it must be a piece-work because it has been given to you (and could only be given to you) in pieces?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Faith actually moves no mountains, but instead raises them up where there were none before.
Friedrich Nietzsche
